Mind map from any video or audio. Plus a flowchart and a timeline.
A mind map from a video lays out what was said as a central theme, branches and details. Paste a YouTube link or upload the audio or video: we turn the transcript into a mind map, a flow and a timeline, with every idea linked to its spot in the player. Download PDF, Markdown or TXT. On Studio and Agency.
Updated
The whole lecture as a one-page mind map.
The central theme sits in the middle, the main topics branch out and the details hang off those branches. Expand what matters, collapse the rest and search the map for a concept. Click an idea to see its summary and the transcript passage it came from, then play the video from that point. You can edit each idea's title and add your own notes, like a notebook. For a student reviewing a recorded lecture, or a small group leader prepping Wednesday night from Sunday's sermon, it's the skeleton of the content, ready to use.
- Central theme, branches and sub-branches built from what was said
- Search inside the map, with expand and collapse
- A summary and the transcript passage on every idea
- Editable titles and notes, saved with the file
- Anxiety and faith (central theme)
- What anxiety does: steals today and rehearses the worst
- What Scripture says: Philippians 4:6-7 and Matthew 6:34
- Three practical steps: pray, give thanks, take the next step
- Story: the week Mark lost his job
- For small groups: questions to talk through
Step by step, and the order of events.
Not everything fits in a mind map. A training session, a tutorial or a workshop needs a flow: step, decision, next step, the way it was explained. A testimony, a life-story interview or a documentary needs a timeline, with events in the order they happened. We generate all three diagrams at once from the same transcript, and you switch between them with a click. In every one, each point links to the moment in the video or audio where it was said, so you can check it with your own ears.
- A flow for processes, hands-on classes and training
- A timeline for stories, testimonies and interviews
- All three diagrams generated together, from one transcript
- Growing up in rural Ohio 02:14
- Moving to Chicago at 17 09:40
- The accident and months in the hospital 18:05
- An invitation to a Wednesday night service 27:32
- Today: leading the recovery ministry 36:10
A video summary to study, teach and publish.
Diagrams leave FilmScribe as a PDF to print or send to students, as Markdown to paste into your notes app and as TXT to edit as plain text. A teacher turns a recorded class into a review sheet. A pastor hands the sermon outline to small group leaders. A course creator builds a module outline from their own words. And a content creator pulls the ideas that become this week's posts, carousels and clips, without rewatching the whole video.
- A review sheet from a recorded class
- A sermon outline for small group leaders
- Post and clip ideas pulled straight from the map
| Format | Good for |

| Printing and sending to students, your team or leaders | |

Frequently asked questions
Can AI make a mind map from a YouTube video?
Yes. In FilmScribe you paste the video link, we transcribe it and build the mind map from what was said, along with a flow and a timeline. Every idea on the map links back to its moment in the video. It's on Studio and Agency and works with long videos, livestreams and full-length lectures.
How do I turn a lecture into a mind map?
Upload the lecture file or paste the YouTube link and generate the diagrams. The lecture's theme becomes the center, the topics become branches, and the examples and details become sub-branches. Review it, add your notes and download a PDF to study from or hand out to the class.
Can I summarize a long YouTube video?
Yes. Every idea on the map carries a short summary and the passage it came from, and chapters split the entire video by topic with titles and timestamps. For a two-hour service or a recorded course, that adds up to a summary you can navigate: read the structure and only listen to what you need.
Can I export the map as an image or PDF?
You can download it as a PDF, which works for printing and sharing, as Markdown to paste into notes apps, and as TXT. Inside FilmScribe the map stays interactive: you can expand it, search it, add notes and play each passage. If you need the map as an image for a slide, open the PDF and export the page from your PDF reader or presentation app.
Can I make a mind map from audio only?
Yes. Diagrams are built from the transcript, so they work the same with audio: podcasts, a class recorded on a phone, audiobooks, talks. Clicking an idea plays the audio from that point. The same audio file also gives you the transcript, chapters, emotions and hooks.
Can I edit the map?
You can edit each idea's title and write your own notes on it. Your changes are saved in FilmScribe. It's handy for swapping a technical term for the one your class knows, or noting the textbook page next to an idea. If you want to reorganize everything your own way, download it as Markdown or TXT and rework it in the text editor you like.
Which plan includes diagrams?
Studio, at R$ 89 a month or R$ 79 a month billed annually, and Agency, at R$ 149 a month or R$ 139 a month billed annually. Both plans also include hooks, scripts, chapter moments and the connector for AI assistants. Before you add a card, you can already see the result on your own recording.
